What is Wooden Shovel in Minecraft?
A wooden shovel is one of the first tools you will make in Minecraft. It is a very simple tool made from wood planks and sticks. Its main job is to help you dig up soft blocks like dirt, sand, and gravel much faster than you could with your bare hands. This is very helpful when you are just starting out and need to clear a flat area to build your first shelter, or if you need to gather a lot of dirt for a project. It is a basic but very useful tool that saves you a lot of time and effort.
How to get Wooden Shovel in Minecraft
Crafting a wooden shovel is extremely easy and cheap. You only need one wood plank of any type and two sticks. You can get wood planks by breaking down logs, and you can get sticks by crafting them from planks. Once you have your materials, open a crafting table. Place the single wood plank in the top middle slot. Then, place the two sticks in the center and bottom center slots directly below it, forming a straight line. This will give you one wooden shovel. Because it is so easy to make, you can craft one whenever you need to do some quick digging.
How to use Wooden Shovel in Minecraft
The main way to use a wooden shovel is to hold it and break soft blocks like dirt, grass, sand, and gravel. It will break these blocks much faster than any other tool, which is great for landscaping or digging out a basement for your first house. A fun and useful trick is that you can right click on a grass block with a shovel to create a grass path block. This is a great way to make nice looking walkways around your base without needing any extra materials. A wooden shovel is not a very good weapon, but it is better than using your fist if you have nothing else.
